In computer science and automata theory, the state of a logic gate or computer program is a technical term for all the stored information, at a given instant in time, to which the circuit or program has access.
Description
The output of a digital circuit or computer program at any time is completely determined by its current inputs and its state.
- Automata theory
- Computer program
- Computer science
- Event-driven architecture
- Functional programming - a programming paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing-state and mutable data.
- Input/output
